Cousin Time!

Saturday night Das went and played poker with some friends.  The boys had such a good week at school so I thought it would be nice for them to have their cousins over.  They all had such a great time playing on the tramp, upstairs, and playing with the Ipad.  Das and I have been watching "The Walking Dead" on TV the last couple of months.  Every once in a while the boys will catch a glimpse of the scary zombies.  And then I catch them walking around like zombies.  They took several creepy pics with the Ipad special effect APP.  It makes me laugh. 
I am glad these boys had such a great time and always get along so well.

Love Sleeping Babies

Yesterday as I was cleaning out pictures on my phone, I realized I have an obsession of taking pictures of my babies sleeping.  Logan is now sleeping in a big boy bed and goes to sleep on his own.  He still wakes up every now and then.  Mainly cuz he has a few teeth coming in.  But for the most part, he is doing great. 
Dallon sleeps OK the first part of the night.  He wakes up around 4 AM to eat, and then again around 6 AM.  After that he is pretty restless.  I am afraid I am starting the same bad habit I did with Logan and letting him sleep in my arms.  I am afraid if I put him in the crib in Logan's room, he will keep Logan up. 
Das has been getting up with Logan since I had Dallon.  It's not every night he has to get him back to bed, but when it is, he is definitely pooped the next day.  Men just aren't cut out for it....or he's just getting old. lol 
Every once in a while I take the opportunity to let them cuddle up on me and sleep. 
Just a few random pics that haven't made any of the blog cuts.  Tristan is loving reading this year and has already finished several books.  Dallon will not take a Binky, but he sure tries hard to get that thumb in his mouth.  Logan loves walks.  He will go climb into the stroller and yell until we push him around.  Ashton is loving 1st grade.  He has such a hunger to learn.  I can't keep up with him sometimes.  I sure do love being the mom of these cute boys.  They keep me entertained, and very busy!

Devil Dash

A few months ago, one of our friends came up with the idea of doing this Devil Dash 5k.  I opted out because I was pregnant at the time and didn't know if I'd be able to do it with a new born.  But Das was lucky enough to participate. 
So Saturday he met up with the group ready to roll.  The Devil Dash is a 5K obstacle course with a lot of mud.  Das had a great time.  We've talked about doing it together next year.  But I don't think my costume will be as good as Das's was. lol  Look at those legs!;)

While he was gone, the boys and I made these stones for my garden.  I've been wanting to find something for this path in my front yard that will not grow anything because of the boys walking through it not stop.  So I though it would be fun to make a craft for them.  They had fun doing it, and they work perfect for the pathway.
I'm thinking maybe he had to much fun at the Devil Dash. lol

Liberty Park

The other day Das said he missed the old parks we use to go to when we lived in Sugar House.  So we decided to make the drive and take a stroll down memory lane. 
We packed up a cooler, threw on our suits, and grabbed the football/Frisbee/soccer ball.  The boys all had a great time.  Tristan ended up diving for the Frisbee and cut up his arm real bad so he wanted to go home.  Ashton wasn't ready to quit, so we stayed just a little longer.  Logan's swimsuit kept falling off of him, so we just took it off.  I just sat with Dallon and soaked up the sun.  After the splash pad, we went over to feed the ducks our stale bread.

I sure am lucky to be the mommy of these 4 boys!

Afterwards we stopped and got pizza at Papa Murphy's and enjoyed the smiling baby.  It was a great day!  It just seems like yesterday that Logan was this size.  And now Logan follows me around repeating every word I say.  He's a smart little guy.  Dallon is just starting to smile and coo.  Logan loves to give him kisses on the head and clap Dallon's hands together.

Logan the Parrot

This is hard to hear and, but so dang cute.  Logan repeats everything we say.  This morning I found my sunglasses broken and asked him if he did it.  He walked around for ten minutes saying, "did that."  I was surprised I got him to do it on video.  The sorry at the end is the cuttest.

6 WEEKS!!!

It always amazes me how fast they grow.  Dallon at his 2 week check up put on 11oz in 10 days.  The doctor was very happy with that.  And he gets fatter each day.  He has completed our family and we sure do love him. 

Diptic


I recently just signed up for Instagram on my Iphone.  While looking at some of my sisters pics, she had made cute little collages with her pics.  I asked her how she did it and she told me to get the app....Diptic.  So I did, and love it.  I played around and made these cute collages with some pics we took a couple of weeks ago at a Daybreak park.
